THEO 1003 Introduction to Old Testament (3 hours)

Sr. Joan Wolf

Course Description: This course is designed to bring the Old Testament to life and to thrill its readers with the story of one people's journey into faith. These ancient people's experiences may reveal the truth of our own journeys in that we can see ourselves in their life experiences, in their growth as well as in their backsliding, in their discoveries of the nature of God and in their misreading what was the will of God, in their frustration when life's troubles were overwhelming and when they had to trust God when important questions remained unanswered. It is a story which covers 2,000 years, a story of real flesh and blood people searching for God and of God's loving self-revelation over the centuries.
